what is up guys is BT back here again with another video today I'm gonna be helping you guys figure out how you guys can pick out headphones and some things to look for and also - I want to let you guys end today on how I review my headphones and what goes into my process of listening to wearing the mess in the battery connectivity but today we're gonna get into all those things and then some okay so you want a pair of headphones where do you go what do you do what are you looking for so the first thing that I tell people the first thing that you have to know is know your music that is number one know your music what is your goal what are you trying to listen to what are you trying to get the most out of what genres are you listening to that's number one well that's rap EDM okay for me those are my main ones I know that I'm looking for headphones that are tailored towards that kind of music spend any more on that and number two we have sound with sound the one thing I want to challenge you guys listen to your favorite song and then choose one characteristic about that song that you really like well that's the vocals the lyrics the bass the treble the highs all those things listen and I want you guys to pick one characteristic now after you picked that one characteristic that is gonna be your main goal for picking out a headphone so let's say you pick a neutral headphone like bose qc25 those aren't gonna be the best choice for something that super bass heavy and somebody that likes a lot of mids they're just a very neutral flat headphone that go with mostly classical and jazz listeners people that like neutral music now if you want something more with bass we all know the brands that are bass heavy like Skullcandy beats v-moda those are gonna be your bread and butter for the bass and I'm just saying some brands off the top of my head those aren't necessarily the best but those are what are known for having a bass so it kind of points you in the right direction towards those headphones for me personally I've done so many reviews and when I first started off I was looking for bass like a lot you guys out there and then I started realizing that hmm I really noticed when the vocals when the mids aren't up to par it's like when you're on the phone with somebody and you hear that static and you kind of hear or their voice sounds a little distorted you know what the voice should sound like and once you hear it in a different way you notice it and for me that's how it gets now I notice a rafter that when the vocals are just not there and the mids aren't as good so figure out that one characteristic that is tailored to what you like now also when it comes to sound what I do is I have a neutral pair of headphones that are very accurate in the Audis LCD twos they're great reference all my headphones wireless or wired versus those and then on the lower end for the bass heavy I do my fostex X zero zeros because I think they have the perfect amount of bass and I compare then I can say okay this is better than the X zero zeros or as below how far is it below those and then same goes for the highs for the highs I have my Sennheiser five nine eight those things are very thin with the bass but the highs the minutes are great there's a lot of separation there great open back headphone so I test against those and then I can say okay well where does it live where on this spectrum from the five nine eight to the LCD twos in the middle for the fostex x zero zeros on the end where does it all lie and then I can make a generalize statement based on what people are listening to I listen to all the genres I go through all the different types of music and then I bring you guys to review that is how I take sound now number three before we go on to the Comfort battery and all that stuff I just want to say one thing that is very underrated is Amazon ratings if you guys aren't already doing this I do this for everything that I buy I'd go on there and let me give you guys a little tip this is a little secret that I have pick the three star reviews don't do the five which are just oh my god this is the best product ever No and don't listen to those don't listen to the one stars don't listen to those out as well because it's just either they had a really bad experience I got a bad living headphone or there is this high mighty headphone that is just amazing with no flaw you want to bridge that gap and bring it to the three star the three star they'll tell you what's right and they will tell you what is wrong they're very balanced so three star Amazon reviews that's a good place to start and then from there what I do is I go on YouTube I look at other reviews I see what other people are saying doesn't match up with the Amazon reviews and then you can make a generalized pick based on what type of music you listen to yourself for battery life number four I'm gonna just talk about this a little bit you have to determine what it is and how long you're actually listening to your music what are you using them for are you flying around the world and you need 30 hours 20 hours you got a bunch of lay overs where you can't charge the headphones what is it that you're actually doing with these headphones are you going to the gym five days a week two hours a day they need ten hours figure out where it is you lie on the scale for me personally I'm using them all the time sometimes they use them at work sometimes I use them at home sometimes I use them at the gym well all the time I use them at the gym but it has to last through a lot of things so having quick charge features is amazing like the beats X and the power beats you know like five minutes of charging gives you two hours of battery life things like that those are all things to look out for and I think are kind of crucial to having a good set of wireless headphones alright so let's talk about comfort now also to what you want to decide on is do you want earbuds or do you want over here do you want on ear headphones what type of person are you do you not like things shoved in your ear do you have a weird ear canal shape then go with over ear or on air do you just get really hot do you not like things on you are you gonna be working out of them then get ear but me I'm not really a sweaty person when I'm in the gym I sweat a little bit but for the most part I can wear over area and be just fine so I'm always testing to see how hot do these over ear on your headphones get do they clamp them down really hard I really tried to put headphones to the test and really test the materials to see how they feel do they feel solid do the bands feel like they're gonna break do they have metal in the dance to keep them from breaking so these are all things that I look for when I look at the design another thing is button placement some have terrible button placement I don't really like the bose qc25 button placements like back here some they don't have the etched in signs for whatever you're having to press so the little things like that really add into the design and the comfort of a headphone also - I look for very low profile headphones I don't like headphones that really stick out a lot unless it's gonna be for home listening because otherwise they just get in your way when you're out and about now the sixth and final thing that you want to look for is the distance that you can be away from your phone now this may be important for some people that like to leave their phone in the locker room and they go out and work out you know you're doing Sprint's or things like that and you have your phone over to the side now what I do is I just lay my phone down and I just walk away and I kind of pace how far I'm walking in a straight line and this gives me kind of a general idea of how far I can go some I can leave it in the locker room others it has to be in my pocket at rest I'm getting some static so it really just all depends definitely look at the distance and how far the Bluetooth range is because that actually does matter a lot for some people all right guys so that those are my tips for finding a new pair of headphones and how I test the headphones so let me know down in the comments below what headphones are you using right now all right do you like them you hate them are you looking to get
